' ? The Atlantic Coast Line is replacing about five and one half miles of wooden trestles across the Pee Dee, Saantee and Savannah rivers in South Carolina, with a concrete and steel viaduct, representing the most modern engineering construction, at a cost of approximately one million dollars. These improvements will make a permanent crossing at these important rivers on the main line, and it is expected that the entire work will be completed in March of iho. The Completion of a second track during February 1910, between Folkston, Ga., and Callahan, Fla., fP, creates continuous double track between Folkston and Jacksonville, a :v distance of forty three miles. In addition a second tracak between Florence and Pee Dee, South Carolina, a distance of ten miles, is under construction, thus giving the Atlantic Coast Line route two hundred and forty eight miles of double track between Washington. D. C., and Jacksonville. Fla., or about thirty percent of the distance. The main linb between Richmond. " Ya.. and Tampa, Fla.. has been re laid with heavy rail, the great majority of which being eighty five pounds to the yard. Itiggs Slated for President. Columbia.

GARLINGTON YEA IIS, YOUNG 1. defendants in "Seminole" Trial at Columbia Given Prison Sentences. { Columbia. January 1 5.?John Y. Garlington was sentenced to-day by , . Judge Prince to serve three years in , ; the State Penitentiary. J. Stobo I ( - Young was sentenced to one year at x . hard labor in the Penitentiary. These two men were convicted by r . a Richland jury last night of breach ] i of trust with fradulent intent, j . growing out of the "Seminole" trans- j ; actions. The prisoners were admit- ^ [ ted to bail in the sum of $5,000 pend- j , ing an appeal to the Supreme Court, j ? Garlington received his sentence t with the same stolidity that has char- j acterized his demeanor throughout j ; the trial of nearly a week. Young's r face bore a more serious expression, j . and he, more than Garlington, show- r ed that the sentence hung heavily g unAri Viim j % upuu Ullli* . In sentencing Garlington and j [ Young Judge Prince said he was sor- c ry, but that the jury had done its , duty in convicting them upon this c special count. Judge Prince had re- c fused a few minutes before the de- j. , fendant s attorneys motion for a new p trial. This motion was ably con . tended for, but Judge Prince, in over- v . ruling it, said he believed the ver. diet was a just one. t When the matter of bail came up ^ , Judge Prince named off hand a $5,- r 000 bond. This brought Solicitor Cobb to his feet, contending that the r bond should be in a larger sum. .Mr. Cobb called attention to the ^ fact that Governor Patterson had re- e fused to honor the requisition for C. ^ J. Hebert, another defendant in the Seminole cases. Mr. Cobb tool< the v position that since Mr. Garlingion ^ resided in Chattanooga and Governor Patterson does not seem disposed to f honor requisitions, tlie defendant t could easily remain in Tennessee and ^Viovo tvA cflVP uuc oiaic i.a.v uv a the $5,000 bond. As against this f amount was involved the sum of v $55,000 charged in the indictment. , However, Judge Prince stuck to his ^ first statement as to the bond, while *( admitting that he had not thought at the time of the possibility men- ^ tioned by Solicitor Cobb. The argument for a new trial and the subsequent sentencing of Garling- ' ton and Young created much interest f in the Court room. ^ Judge Prince stated that he had , t< intended to sentence Garlington to five years, but felt that three years S would meet the requirements of justice. Garlington's demeanor during the . trial is believed to have had some- ^ thing to do with the lightness of the sentence. The following men went on the V1 bond of the two men: F. S. Earle and John Earle, of Co- a lumbia; R. B. Boyd. C. H. Roper, J. t( D. Watts, of Laurens. p Several others came from Laurens . and offered to go on the bonds, but " Judge Prince indicated in admitting the men to bail that not more than S jfive should go on the bond. Want Lien Law Again. P l Columbia, Jan. 3.?The repeal of S( the lien law last year has not put ii that proposition out of the way en- Ci tirely. It will be brought up again ? this year in an effort to reenact it on c, the ground that the people of the c country can not do without it, and that they can find no convenient way " of carrying on the business of the farm without it. Representative e; Garris will present a bill asking for b the reenactment of it. There has, j unquestionably been some modifica- jr tion of opinion through the country o on the subject as soon as the law tl was repealed, and the farmer who 0 was accustomed to that prop for his weakness leaned back and found it not. 1c Is doubtful, however, if any- P; thing can be done with the proposition. Thrown Into Well by Husband. L Fairfield, Conn., Jan. 16.?Knocked on the head, thrown into a well by her husband and male companion smri if>ft for dead, was the fate that n met Annie Moskill. a bride of three a days, who was married in Cliicopee, 11 Mass.. on Friday.

The interest shown by women in lerial navigation in these da>s is no lew thing. Women in the past have lone their share in conquering the oadways ot the air. .Mile. Tible was the first Frenchwonan to make an ascent. On June 4, 7S4, she went up in a balloon from .yons, and landed safely in Belfor. n the following year Mme. Hines and lime. Luzarche in Paris and two ?"rench girls, the sisters Simonnet, in -ondon, made successful ascents. The first of the women whose darng was repaid by death was Mmme. 31anchard, wife of a famous aeroiaut. While sailing over Paris in a )alloon on July 6, 1819, she set off a ocket, the balloon caught fire and he was killed by falling on a roof. Mme. Radley in 1863 was caught n the ropes of her balloon and suffoated. Among the attempts of women to onquer the air none was more exiting than that of Mrs. Stock, who n 1824 went up from London in comiany with the balloonist Harris. The ourney continued without incident mtil an attempt was made to decend. Then the apparatus for empying the balloon did not function iroperly and the gas escaped too apidly. Only lightening the car could save he two balloonists, and all the balast had already been thrown out. 'hen Harris and Mrs Stock looked ach other in the face for a second, 'hen Harris threw himself from the ar to save the life of the woman ;ho had been brave enough to share lis perils with him. .Mme. Flammarion. wife of the anions Camile. made a honeymoon rip with her husband in the month f August. 1 874, and landed happily fter 15 hours at Spa. This succeW ul example was followed by one ragic imitation when Giuseppe Charonnet in 1 893 started out 'from lilan with his bride and two others d make the journey to Paris. The first day passed without accient. On the second day as the bal3on was crossing the Alps it was aught in a whirlwind, met a snowtorm and fell more than a thousand Bet in a few seconds. The storm rove the car from one rocky peak 3 another and dragged it over the laciers until all the gas had escaped nd the car was left on the mounlins. It remained there all night, nd the next day the four, with no nplements and no protection against ae cold, stanea to mane tne pernus descent. A snowstorm was raging, and the oung husband slipped into a crevasse nd was dashed to death at the bot)m. It was three days before the arty found refuge in a hut.

McCormick, Jan. 12.?An example of true heroism and devotion to duty is the manner in which Clinton A. Hogan, a young conductor on the Georgia railroad, met his death. Conductor Clinton A. Hogan, when only a lad was seized with a mania for working on the railroad. He left home and mother to answer this inclination. His promotion was rapid. He soon became conductor and at his death, although only 25 years of age, was considered one of the most efficient conductors on the Georgia road. On last Monday evening at* 7 o'clock Conductor Hogan left Augusta for Atlanta in charge of a freight train, stopping at a station, Barnett, about 11.30 o'clock for orders. The caboose came to a standstill some yards East of the depot. Hogan. in attempting to board the train as it was moving, fell beneath the car. The flagman, who was on the caboose, soon perceived that the oar had passed the place where conductor Hogan was standing and that his lantern was out. The train was stopped and The flagman went back to look for Hogan. He soon came upon him and offering his assistance the conductor said, "Move the train to the sidetrack, there is another one coming in a few minutes; you can not help me for I am dying." He was dead in less than two hours. Both legs had been severed from the body. The death of Mr. Hogan is the more sad because he leaves a widowed mother who was perfectly devoted to her son. Saved at Death's Door. The door of death seemed ready to open for Murray W. Ayers, of Transit Bridge, N. Y.^ when his life was ( wonderfully saved. "I was in a dreadful condition," he writes, "my skin was almost yellow; eyes sunken; tongue coated; emaciated from losing 40 pounds, growing weaker daily. Virulent liver trouble pulling me down to death in spite of doctors. Then that matchless medicine?Electric Bitters?cured me. I regained J- 1 * 3 tne' puuuub iusi auu uuw am wen and strong." For all stomach, liver and kidney troubles they're supreme. 50c at Peoples Drug Store, Bamberg, S. C. Boost Your Town. Occasionally one will hear the remark, "I wish I was out of this county," and then one feels like saying, "I wish you were," for a man who stands on the street corners, sits od the fence chewing and spitting, telling obscene stories, cursing the town or farm, finding fault with his grandmother because she was a woman, claiming that the merchants are a lot ' of thieves, that the lawyers and newspaper men would skin a man to a finish, and a whole lot more, is a nuisance and an abomination. Any town or farm pestered with one or more such worthies would be justified in exercising cowhide authority on the bosom of their pants. No one is obliged to live where he is not suited. If. one hasn't an encouraging word for the business enterprise and institution of his county, he should shut up and "go way back and sit down." If things don't suit you, move to where they will. A growler and sorehead is an enterprise killer every time. It would pay a town or : county to donate him $5.00 and tell him to move. Children Burned to Death. Branchville, Jan. 16.?Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock the house of .Mary Durant. who livevd about three miles from town, was totally destroyed by fire. Drier Durant, four years old, and Anna Durant, two years old. the only children of Mary Durant. were burned to death in the house.
